[Peace] Anti-war Coalition Meeting, Saturday Feb 20, 1 PM in the U of I Union

[Jesse Phillippe]

With the 7th anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war fast approaching,
the need for increased anti-war activism and organizing is as great as ever,
because, as we all know, the Iraq war is far from over.  In a time when
anti-war activism is waivering, we need to recognize that Obama has just
escalated the unjust and racist war in Afghanistan and that the assault on
Gaza a little over a year ago is still fresh in many activists' minds.

Several local groups have decided to organize a coalition of anti-war,
anti-imperialist, and like-minded groups and people, in an effort to
increase the level of anti-war activism, to consolidate our forces, and to
increase communication along the way.  With the CAN National Conference
coming to the U of I campus in just over a week, a lot of local anti-war
activists are very busy.  So we could use all the help we can get!  And the
point of consolidating our forces (getting all the help we can get) is to do
what every anti-war group should do when approaching the anniversary of an
unjust war, namely PROTEST IT!!

So, given people's schedules, it seems the best time to have the
meeting is*Saturday at 1:00 PM in the Courtyard Cafe of the Union
*.  I apologize to those for whom, this time doesn't work (I will keep you
updated on our progress one way or the other). I am also assuming that this
time is not too much of a stretch for people who said they can make it at
noon (either way, let me know).
